    3 The version negotiation problem is caused by what looks like a partial reversed patch in the commit:  the ssl context was being setup for v23 rather than TLS1.

    34 Don't know why the bogus change works elsewhere.  But since we always reject v2 & v2, I don't see any harm in initializing for TLS.
     42Don't know why the commit's change works in other environments but not here; since both SSL_CTX and the *_*_method functions belong to OpenSSL, it's probably their code.

    36 I'll have a look at the cert name issue - that should be easier to find.
     44Since we always reject v2 & v3 (using the options value), I don't see any harm in initializing for TLS - 'why' is of academic interest.  Initializing for V23 should advertise V2 & V3 for compatibility and accept V2 and V3 client hellos, but then the options we select cause v2 and v3 to be rejected.  So setting up to accept the V2/V3 hellos doesn't buy us anything - we know it has to be OpenVPN on the other end. So we might as well work-around the issue on the OpenVPN side.

     46I've looked at the cert name issue - see the next comment.

     48(Updated to make the error message match the initialization method and clarify the explanation.)
